Our old ebase 1.x crashed before my time. In this old database it was possible to print out a personalized letter to renew memberships and send thank you letters after receiving donnations. I would like to enable this function in our new ebase 2.2 program. Any hints?

I'm looking for ideas for good systems/methods to import voter information into Access databases. We (APEN) have an electoral database that gets bigger with each election and we're struggling each time to incorporate the data we gather with new voter rolls from the county registrar.

thanks!

Our organization needs to centralize contacts. We have access in our computers, but don't know where to start since we have no database knowlege. Please help?

My first question tho, is Access the best database to use or should we use Filemaker Pro which we also have?????

If you are generally happy with your database and use that one program to track a variety of contacts, even if from different campaigns etc. please let me know what database you're using and why. (History - we're only using Access and Excel and they're so un-user friendly we use a different one for each "list" or "campaign" so its a bit of a mess - want to figure out what to buy to consolidate...).
